Thats a CT-15 ,from 1968, the first full tunnel Art built when he was introduced to Bob, 1969, that boat was one of the first made at the new Anahiem plant after Bob and him made the deal, Bob bought Art out, closed the Carlson boat line and made Art the head of the Anaheim plant, That was the same time Bob and Art were working the deal to make the Italian made Molinari boats at the new plant. As far as I know, that boat was the one of only a couple, or few of them. That boat was a race boat, and not sold to the general public.
Great Pictures !

In the event, you ever wondered where Mercury's Lake X was, here is an extract from the Orlando, Fla, paper. The lake, itself, is on the north side of the town of St Cloud, just past the southern edge of Orlando./////////// Whitaker was a customer at Mercury Marine, which makes boat engines, said Greg Kissella, director of marketing services at Mercury Marine's headquarters in Fond du Lac, Wis. It tests its products on Lake Conlin, also known as Lake X.
"Race boat drivers will bring their boats and equipment to Lake X to have them fine-tuned," Kissella said.
Lake X has been a secret testing ground for Mercury's outboard motors since 1959. The company, Osceola County's 10th largest employer, leases the land surrounding the lake from the Kirchman Corp. in Altamonte Springs, a developer of computer software for banks.
Its owner, Kenneth Kirchman, bought the 10,444 acres around Lake X in 1983 from E.C. "Carl" Kiekhaefer a founder of Mercury Marine.
